I‘ve read 38 cover-to-cover. My total is 46 if you count the ones I DNFd, which I am. I‘ve attempted Crime and Punishment and The Hobbit at least 3 times each. I will never finish them. The tagged book is one of my favorites from the list, although I bet it hasn‘t aged well. Several of these I read BECAUSE of The Great American Read, like Bless Me, Ultima, and I bought copies of a few others that I haven‘t gotten to like the Sister Souljah . #tlt

(1989) The 4th volume in Clancy's series of thrillers featuring intelligence analyst Jack Ryan has Ryan responding to a covert military operation gone sour, targeting drug production in Colombia. I haven't been a fan of this series but it's growing on me: it's turning into a sort of technothrillers where the "techno" is US political machinery (plus enough peril to keep the ship moving). Flaws, yes, but interesting, and this is my favorite so far
(1987) Testosteroney, sometimes ridiculously so, and starry-eyed about royalty. But it promises thrills and then delivers them. If this is the kind of thing you like then you'll like it pretty well. On balance, I liked it better than expected.
(1984) I tried this once years ago and bounced off. I remember hearing Clancy's work described as "thrillers for people who find 'Jane's Fighting Ships' thrilling," and that matched my experience. But this time I pushed, let the jargon slide by, and ... It wasn't bad. There's a submarine duel near the end that was thrilling even for this guy who likes "Jane's" only for pretty pictures. Still not my thing but this time I get its appeal
